CLERK-TREASURER MEMORANDUM
August 7, 2012
TO: Alcohol License Advisory Committee
FROM: Jean Ann Wulf, City Clerk-Treasurer
SUBJECT: Action on an application from the Rock County Historical Society (RCHS)
for Class B Beer only and Class C Wine licenses and to restrict the
outdoor seating portion of the licenses as recommended by the Alcohol
License Advisory Committee (ALAC)
Alcohol License Advisory Committee’s (ALAC) Recommendation
The ALAC forwarded a positive recommendation for the Class B Beer only and Class C
Wine licenses. It is their recommendation that restrictions be placed on outdoor
seating. The restrictions are: outdoor seating ends no later than 9:00 PM and that
temporary fencing be required for all events with a projected attendance of 150 or more
people.
City Manager Recommendation
I concur with the recommendation of the ALAC
Suggested Motion
I move to approve the Class B Beer only and Class C Wine licenses for the Rock
County Historical Society (RCHS) and to restrict the outdoor seating portion of the
licenses as recommended by the Alcohol License Advisory Committee (ALAC).
Background
The City received an application from the RCHS for a Class B Fermented Malt
Beverage License and a Class C Wine License for the Tallman House. As part of their
business plan, they requested that they be allowed to sell alcohol to assist them to
become more self sustaining in the future. Currently, this activity is not an allowed under
City ordinances.
The application is for a Class B Beer Only and Class C Wine licenses with outdoor
seating and audio. The outdoor seating request would license the entire grounds. This
will allow them to hold the annual Tallman House Festival and host outdoor events
without obtaining temporary licenses.
